Lucas Releases Statement on Kevin Warsh

Washington, DC – Congressman Frank D. Lucas released the following statement on President Trump’s nomination of Kevin Warsh for Fed Chair.

“Kevin Warsh is the right pick for Fed Chair. Having previously served on the Federal Reserve’s Board of Governors, Mr. Warsh has seen firsthand how to build consensus during times of crisis, both at the Board and the FOMC.

As an expert economist, Mr. Warsh will work well with Vice Chair Bowman on the work she’s already begun in right-sizing bank regulation and ensuring capital access across the country.

Mr. Warsh’s work at the Fed, in the private sector, and in the executive branch, make him more than qualified to lead the Board as our banking industry undergoes tremendous innovation.

As Chairman of the Task Force on Monetary Policy, Treasury Market Resilience, and Economic Prosperity, I look forward to working alongside him to bolster the American economy.”
